[quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous]Do you know the content of the teacher letters that were sent to other privates? Have the schools to which your DD is applying received the most recent transcript yet?

Tred lightly until at least the transcript is received and your daughter has received a formal acceptance.

Also get a copy of her transcript yourself right away. Do not take no for an answer.

That way, they can’t trap you. They will try any way they can. [/quote]

OP and they have not sent the transcript to one school! How did you know? They claimed that they usually do it electronically via Ravenna and aren’t used to the [perfectly standard form that’s an exact copy of what’s in the electronic submission via Ravenna] method used by one particular school. I chased down various other administrators who all keep referring me back to the woman who claims there’s no way to do this.

Fortunately the teachers who write the recs are excellent people and sent them early in the fall and gave me copies of what they sent. One of them offered to meet with us and then without prompting privately shared her thoughts about good target schools (which overlapped with our choices).[/quote]
